Because what else is there to do besides drink in this town?

People always ask at work on Fridays: "What do you have going on this weekend?" Well...we live in Salina, Kansas; once you're out of middle school, hanging out at the mall, going to the movies, or bowling just aren't the "hot spots" anymore. You've turned to the bars once you've reached that legal age of 21, and we all know how those nights typically go.

1. The decision on whether to stay in or go out

We all do it: tell ourselves that we're going to stay in this weekend. All week we have the intentions of staying in, until it's Saturday night and your pals blow up the group text with the plans.

2. The kick back

You can't just show up at the bar willingly sober in Salina on a Saturday night. You're bound to run into a few people you would have been better off not seeing. Whether you're getting ready with your girls and having a few drinks or over at the pals putting a few back before 10:30 p.m. or later hits, drinks before the bar are necessary. They totally save you from spending more at the bar, right?

3. The first few drinks at the bar

Okay, kick back has you feeling a little loose. Just another drink or two, and I'll be good. I'm not trying to spend a bunch of money tonight.

4. SHOTS!

Hahahahaha, you thought wrong. Your liver is loving this, and you can't just leave your friends! Netflix is always streaming your latest binge watch; drink up!

5. Let's dance! Outlaws?!

If you've ever gone to Outlaws sober, I don't believe you're human. I need copious amounts of alcohol to get myself to function like a normal Outlaws being. Drunk me loves Outlaws though, as much as I hate to admit it.

6. Panchos

Every Saturday night after 2:00 p.m. hits and all the bars close, Panchos is packed. Drunk food at it's finest, because, quite frankly, Russell's service sucks and iHop is too formal. Plus, Mexican food is the bomb.

7. Someone gets upset

Nine times out of ten one of your friends gets upset with another for something petty, and the night just kinda goes to poop. Even worse if they decide fighting is the way to make it all better.

8. Beddddddd <3

Home, sweet, home

9. Hangover central

Happy Sunday Funday consisting of not getting out of bed except for a shower, a big glass of water, and some food.

10. Hearing about all the things you did while intoxicated

Liquid courage makes you do things, pals.

Even though I vowed to stay in this weekend, I'm sure I'll see y'all Friday or Saturday.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
